Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which describes the Trustees' assessment of the effects of two years of net expenditure which have left the group with a low level of working capital impacting cashflow and the implications for the group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
